CRA PUBLIC COMMENTS
Chair Hardemon: Good evening. Welcome to the Thursday, March 1, 2018 meeting of
the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency. With us at this
moment we have Commissioner Carollo, Commissioner Reyes; and myself, the
Chairman, Keon Hardemon. So noting that we do have the quorum to begin the meeting,
I'd like to call the meeting to order. I don't see any minutes from any last meeting that we
have to approve, so what I'll do is open up the floor for public comment. If there's
anyone here from the public that'd like to speak on any of the items that's on the agenda,
please approach the lectern. State your first name, your last name, what item it is that
you want to speak about, and you may state your address. So once again, I open up the
floor for public comment. Seeing no one approach the lectern for public comment, I
close the public comment.
